The Challenge

MPR Logistics, through its division Hot Shot Services, opened a new 75,000 sq.ft. warehouse in Garland, Texas. The primary objective was to provide unmatched high-volume Direct-to-Customer (DTC) fulfillment for their clients. However, managing such a large-scale operation and maintaining a 100% shipping success rate was a significant challenge. The traditional logistics operations often require a large staff and can still struggle with efficiency and accuracy. The company needed a solution that could help them scale up their operations while maintaining their shipping success rate, all with a fraction of the staff of traditional operations.

About The Customer

MPR Logistics is a technology-driven logistics company that aims to provide unmatched high-volume Direct-to-Customer (DTC) fulfillment for their clients. Through its division, Hot Shot Services, the company operates a 75,000 sq.ft. warehouse in Garland, Texas. MPR Logistics is committed to leveraging advanced technology solutions to enhance the efficiency and success rate of their operations. The company has successfully transformed its warehouse operations by implementing Logiwa’s Warehouse Management System (WMS) and integrating it with Locus Robotics.

The Solution

MPR Logistics turned to Logiwa’s Warehouse Management System (WMS) to power their technology-driven logistics business. Logiwa WMS became the central part of their operations, enabling them to manage their large-scale operations efficiently. Furthermore, MPR Logistics leveraged Logiwa’s integration with Locus Robotics, which allowed them to manage their operations with fewer staff members compared to traditional logistics operations. This digital transformation of the warehouse operations was a key factor in MPR Logistics' ability to maintain a 100% shipping success rate. Logiwa also offered free robotics integrations with any robotics system chosen by their customers, making the transition to a digitally-powered warehouse even smoother.

Operational Impact

  • The implementation of Logiwa’s WMS and its integration with Locus Robotics has significantly transformed MPR Logistics' operations. The company has been able to scale up its operations while maintaining a 100% shipping success rate, a feat that is often challenging in traditional logistics operations. The digital transformation has also allowed MPR Logistics to manage their operations with fewer staff members, leading to cost savings and increased efficiency. The pay-as-you-go subscription model for the robotics service has provided flexibility and ease in managing changes in usage-based demand. The successful transition to a digitally-powered warehouse has turned technology into a business success for MPR Logistics.

Quantitative Benefit

  • Opened a new 75,000 sq.ft. warehouse for high-volume DTC fulfillment

  • Maintained a 100% shipping success rate

  • Managed large-scale operations with a fraction of the staff of traditional operations

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
